JK Boots Reviews From Veterans & Service Members
Veterans and service members know what it means to spend long days in boots, and they know the difference a good pair makes, which is why their opinions carry weight. To be clear, these are customer reviews and not a claim JK Boots meet any service specifications. In these ten reviews, veterans, service members, and a couple firefighters tell us how JK Boots compare to previous boots they've worn while on the job.
Wears boots every day in the military, and says these have him rethinking what comfortable means.
"Never have I ever worn something so comfortable in my life. I wear boots every day in the military and these have me rethinking life."
Says his time in special operations taught him never to go cheap on his boots.
"I love these boots, one thing I learned was to never go cheap on those things called your feet, especially when your life and those you are with depend on you! The craftsmanship blows my mind away."
A former Army paratrooper who says his Forefronts remind him of the jump boots he earned at Jump School.
"Decades ago, the Army had dreadful Combat Boots. Little or no support, a blister generator, and they were pretty much “No Account”. Eventually, I was able to go to Jump School and get some Corcoran Jump Boots and wear them without shame. ... Like the Archers, they remind me of my Jump Boots, and I Love them."
A prior Sailor who wore Bates for eight years, and says his O.T. Pros are in a different league.
"I am a prior Sailor that wore Bates the 8 years I served. I have had random hiking boots from Columbia, Danner, Carhartt and those Bates. Those boots cannot hold a candle to the OT Pro's I ordered. Don't get me wrong those were all decent boots, but I am only 3 days into owning these JK's... I was worried after spending the money that the boots would only meet expectations or disappoint me slightly, but instead they are exceeding my expectations, and I am thoroughly pleased so far."
Has owned everything from military-issue boots to mountaineering boots, and calls his 300X's the best of them.
"I have had so many boots... Military issue to mountaineering and other PNW boots, these are tops. I can't believe the supple feeling uppers for this thick of a leather..."
Hadn't found boots in his size since leaving the military 40 years ago.
"I haven't been able to find boots my size since I got out of the military 40 years ago, usually I hafta buy a size larger & eventually the sides wear out, thank you !"
Wishes he'd had these during his time in the military.
"Most amazing boots ever, wish I had these in the military."
A military retiree who wishes he had known about JK before he retired.
"Outstanding!!! Wish I've known of your product before I retired from the military. Thank you!!!"
A wildland firefighter with a private company who is loving his Fire Inlanders at the start of the season.
"I’m a wildland firefighter with a private company. ... so far I’m loving them. Great quality!"
A former firefighter who now wears his O.T. Bison every day on the ranch.
"Simply they are better than I anticipated. These boots are awesome. ... The fit and comfort of these boots are incredible! Out of the box straight on to my feet and then everyday this past week working on the ranch. I couldn’t be more pleased."
These reviews come from people who've worn their boots hard and have strong opinions about them. One remembered wearing boots with little support and said he loved his Forefronts because they reminded him of his pair of jump boots. A Sailor who wore the same boots for eight years said they can’t compete with his JK Boots now. Two more reviewers wished they’d had a pair while they served and one of the wildland firefighters was already loving his at the start of the season.
